14,662 PointsI am seeing the problem that Jenn has reported in that Windows 7's own unzipper is unable to unzip the folder (right-click -> Extract All...), claiming that the compressed (unzipped) folder is invalid.
Steven is correct that the folder is not empty as I have managed to open it using 7-Zip.
I have just emailed help@teamtreehouse.com about this.

8,600 PointsHm, this is pretty strange. Just tested this myself, the latest version of Windows 10 and had no issues with downloading (Chrome) the file, unzipping it and accessing the files within it. I used the default extraction tool and also tested it using 7zip.
I'm wondering if either of you has some security settings in place which is seeing the file as a threat and not downloading the files properly?

12,143 PointsI'm not getting any warnings and it shows up in my download folder as 44 kb, but when I open it in Windows 10 native decompressor it says that it's an empty folder. As I said I don't have any problems with other archives from Treehouse.

8,600 PointsInteresting. Would you please try 7-zip and see if that acts as a workaround for you?
Christian Sverrhag
12,143 PointsWith 7-zip it works :). Now I have already completed the course though :).
